Zoom PodTrak P8 - Podcasting Made Easy!
The Zoom PodTrak P8 is easy to use and ready for even the most demanding podcast projects. The PodTrak P8 is a complete podcast studio with all the necessary features for recording, editing, and mixing.
Touchscreen Controls
The interface with its color touchscreen allows quick access to monitoring, settings, and built-in editing functions. All features are always just a tap away.
Mic Preamp Slider
Use the mic preamp slider to control the level or gain for each microphone. Make sure level peaks fall within the "Good Range". Peaks in the "Over Range" can cause distorted sound.
Limiter
The limiter prevents distortion from sudden level spikes.
High Pass
The high pass filter reduces low-frequency noise such as air conditioning, street noise, or vibrations common in most recording situations.
Tone Control
Use tone control to enhance voices by boosting bass or treble for the perfect podcast sound.
Compressor/DeEsser
The compressor/de-esser adds presence and rounds out the perfect podcast studio sound.
Noise Reduction
Select Noise Reduction on the On-Air screen to automatically lower microphone levels on unused tracks and reduce background noise.
It Speaks Your Language
The P8 touchscreen display can be set to one of six languages. Choose from English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, or Japanese.
Color Coded
Thanks to color-coded inputs, outputs, and controls, quick adjustments on the P8 are a breeze, letting you focus fully on the conversation.
Crystal Clear Recordings
The PodTrak P8 features six superb-sounding Zoom microphone inputs that deliver flawless audio quality for you and your guests. With up to 70 dB gain, the P8 is suitable for demanding microphones like the Shure SM7B.
This Call Is Being Recorded
The P8 has a dedicated recording channel for phone calls. Additionally, a USB mode can be activated on channel six to record guests connected via computer. Both options include a mix-minus function to prevent echo and feedback on the caller’s side.
On-Air Button
Channels with ON AIR disabled still output to headphones but are not recorded or sent to speakers or USB port. This is handy for side conversations or prepping guests during breaks.
Wireless Connectivity
With the separately available Zoom BTA-2* Bluetooth receiver, you can wirelessly connect your phone to record external guests. *BTA-2 sold separately.
Premium Production
For even more professional-sounding podcasts, use the nine color sound pads to trigger sound effects, intro music, jingles, pre-recorded interviews, and more. Choose from 13 preloaded sounds or upload your own. You can create up to four sound banks to play a total of 36 sound clips at the push of a button.
Outputs for Every Application
The P8 offers six independent headphone outputs, each with its own volume control. For professional use, you can connect studio monitors to the P8’s main outputs.
Editing Options
Use the built-in editing functions to easily trim, split, and fade your audio clips to finalize your show on the P8. Alternatively, transfer the track recordings to your computer for final mixing.
Take Your Studio Anywhere
For recordings outside your studio, the P8 offers up to two hours of recording time with four AA batteries. For longer sessions, simply connect a USB power supply.
The ultimate all-in-one podcast studio for every podcaster!
